Like Year of the Rooster said it is a Brown Leghorn hen.

I love this website!!! Everyone is so helpful. Can't believe I've gotten this many responses in three minutes! Thanks so much to all of you.

I am so glad to know she's not a rooster. I think she's very pretty. Her name is Agnes and she's very sweet and kind of shy.

Def a hen, could be an EE though, there is no garuntee that you get all pea combs in the crosses used to make EEs'

she kinda looks like a welsummer as well! Not an EE forsure~

I can never tell the difference between them, so it may very well be a Welsummer. But this one has white earlobes, which makes me believe Brown Leghorn.

Brown leghorns & welsummers do look very similar, but BLHs lay white eggs and your chicken has white earlobes (welsummers lay dark brown eggs and do not have white earlobes).

There are EE hens that are colored similar to a BLH, but yours is not an EE. Besides the lack of a pea comb, your hen also has yellow legs (instead of the typical slate or green) & no muffs/beard.

So... by looking at the feather coloring/pattern, the yellow legs, white earlobes, straight/single comb, & clean face -- your hen is definitely a brown leghorn. Leghorns are usually more shy & skittish than other breeds, but excellent egglayers.
